One Cylinder Diesel

Transportation in China in 1988

One-Lung Diesel - 20

These trucks are great polluters. They are single cylinder diesel units. They are steered by brute force. They have a very large flywheel that keeps the engines going. They don't travel very fast and are not allowed on the freeways. They are fast disappearing as newer and better units are being made. You see them mostly in the countryside.
